Ingredients

  • 2 ounces olive oil
  • 1 cup julienned red onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
  • 1/2 cup roasted and julienned red bell pepper
  • 1 roasted chicken, boned, skin discarded and shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
  • 5 ounces mozzarella, grated
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 ounces tequila
  • 1/4 cup diced Roma tomatoes, for garnish
  • 4 sourdough rolls, warmed

Directions

Layer 2 (15-inch) sheets of heavy aluminum foil together and fold 1/4-inch of the edges together to create 1 sheet. Repeat with another 2 pieces of foil, to create 2 double foiled sheets. Bend the edges of 1 of the sheets up 2 inches, to help keep the liquid in the foil.

On a double sheet of foil, layer (in this order), the oil, onions, jalapeno, red bell peppers, chicken, salt and pepper, garlic, cilantro, cheeses, lemon juice and tequila.

Put the second, double layered foil sheet on top of layered ingredients. Fold both double layered sheets of foil together in 1/4-inch folds, 4 times. When all the sides are folded together, make sure that the pouch is not leaking. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

To cook preheat the oven or grill to 250 degrees F. Remove the foil pouch from the refrigerator and put on the grill, being careful not to snag the foil pouch and tear it open. Grill for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.

Remove the pouch from the grill and slice the bag open. Garnish with the tomatoes, cilantro, and Parmesan and serve on warmed rolls.

    Made for a Super Bowl Party - YUMMY! Everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks Guy! The only change I made - I couldn't put on the grill - because just as we got ready to start the grill (just before the party we found it was out of gas!! Fixed these in the oven and then transferred to a crockpot. Turned out great anyway.

    I made these sandwiches right before we went on a camping trip, wrapped them in foil and popped them in a cooler. We grilled the bread and heated the sandwiches right over the camp fire. What a fun, easy, and delicious recipe and so much better than plain old hot dogs and hamburgers!!
